Some may think a trip to Mexico is for an epic spring-break-like experience, but what some may not know is that there’s something for everyone who’s ready for some fun in the sun! Cancun’s white sand beaches, hot temps, and crystal waters are just about a 3-hour flight from New York City, making it super convenient for a family trip!

I went on a 10-day Mexico family vacation with my wife and two daughters to ring in the New Year.

Soon as I arrived I realized there are two types of travelers, the ones who prefer to relax and take advantage of amenities offered at the resort their staying, and those who wander outside to go on excursions, learn about the different culture and customs of a foreign place. I am a traveler who wanders and explores. Here are some of our pictures from that time.

Once we completed our excursions, we ended what was one of the best times of our lives!
